Islam Makhachev became the top Russian mixed martial artist performing abroad in 2022, says Ramazan Ismailov, brother and trainer of Magomed Ismailov.
– Islam Makhachev is the best fighter outside of Russia. There is a confirmation of this. He took the title. He acts in the most powerful organization in the world. This defines him as the best fighter. In Russia, Magomedrasul Hasanov was the best. It plays in the most competitive league in Russia. He had tough opponents. I come out of this. The most spectacular is Sharabutdin Magomedov, the most high-profile is Magomed Ismailov,” Ramazan Ismailov told Metaratings.ru.
Makhachev, 31, defeated Bobby Green and Charles Oliveira in 2022 to win the UFC lightweight title. In MMA, the Russian has won 23 to 1 loss.
